She was single, not “un” anything.
Green-Wood Cemetery (Brooklyn)
Wonderful remembrance! Julia has always been one of our favorite "permanent residents" here at Green-Wood. Cemetery records (hers is one of over 570,000 in our archives) list her cause of death as "Arterio Sclerosis." She was living at the time of her death at the Long Island Home.

We are hopeless since Trump does not read or write. It is likely that the self claimed person with super IQ has a very low IQ. Otherwise, there could be a chance to change his vulgar personality by someone like Sand.

Quite inspirational -- and quite instructive! Please continue, New York Times, to unearth and help us all rediscover those personages whose minds, souls, words, actions and determination -- not matter how obscurely hidden, no matter how humble -- helped to influence those in powerful positions to use their powers in a more just and humane manner.

Beautiful remembrance of a valuable woman, unjustly forgotten ... thanks
